    Hi, all

    This may be an FAQ, but I couldn't find the answer on unicode.org.

    It seems that most flavours of unix define wchar_t to be 4 bytes. If the
    locale is set to be Unicode, what's in a wchar_t string? Is it UTF-32, or
    UTF-16 with the code units zero-extended to 4 bytes?

    Cheers
